I think the 256 chars is a kernel limit, I had the same problem and now just make multiple ramdisks with different info files. I think you might save space by getting rid of load_ramdisk=1 and ramdisk_size=65536 , I'm not sure if those are needed. It would be nice if we could just give a URL(tftp,nfs,ftp,http) to the info file on the append line.
Yes, I have been wanting this feature for ages, its on the way hopfully :-| Anas

Hi, all
This is my pxe config file:
DEFAULT test LABEL test KERNEL test/yast-SLES8.1-GA-i386z APPEND load_ramdisk=1 initrd=csm/yast-SLES8.1-GA-i386.gz ramdisk_size=65536 autoyast=nfs://172.20.3.2//netinstall/csm/1.4.1 /autoyast.SLES8.1/172.20.3.25.xml install=nfs://172.20.3.2 /netinstall/Linux/SLES/8.1/i386/GA/ ip=172.20.3.25 netmask=255.255.255.0 acpi=oldboot netdevice=eth0
As I know, pxe cmd line passed to autoyast will be cut by kernel to no more than 256 chars, but last line in my config file is far more than 256 chars, how can I pass the line to autoyast without being cut?
Info file is not exactly what I want because I have to prepare different initrd for different machine.
Yours Sincerely, Luo Hao
